Pour le meilleur et pour le pire

This had to be the best comedy that came out in 2002. I loved everything about this show: the perfect cast led by the beautiful, talented, and mature Paula Marshall and the talented Justin Louis. Every episode was funny and always a pleasure to watch.

The supporting cast is great also, delivers expectations.

The situations are funny and backed by a smart script and perfect acting.

This comedy is intelligent and realistic, like none other of it's genre. What else could you ask? Sadly this show was cancelled in early 2003.

It's a shame that NBC cancelled it after season 1, it's beyond reason why these kind of comedies with a solid structure, good cast, and everything are axed while other comedies that are popular but not funny are still on air. I'd really like to get the episodes on DVD or even taped, I regret I didn't taped them. As the post above stated, Hidden Hills has generated a fan database!

Hopefully this sitcom will be re runned in some time... that's the least that we can expect.

I think the show is funny. I like the format of show with hearing the thoughts of Doug Barber (Justin Louis). I think Dondre Whitfield is great as the low key neighbor and friend Zack. I like the friendship between the women of the show as well as the friendship of the men in the show. It is a good vehicle for showing viewers the inside world of men and women. I like the relationship between Doug and Janine (Paula Marshall). It is sweet without being syrupy. The show does show reality in a way. It takes situations that occur in real life that are often disastrous but here they are always funny without much damage. Like getting stuck at your spouse's office party, really wanting to spend time just by yourself, thinking a friend is attracted to you just to name a few. I hope they keep the show on for a long run.

Okay so I always fall in love with shows that get cancelled...

Here is my list "Arrested Development", "Firefly", "Hidden Hills", "Coupling (BBC)", "Pig Sty", "Oliver Bean", "Family Guy" (but that one came back...).

I don't get it lots of crap on TV makes it and goes on for a long time. Then these smart shows (excuse Family Guy, not so smart but makes me laugh) get canned.

I think the mass population is not ready for Comedies without laugh tracks. They need to be told when something is funny.

What really kills me is that this shows can not be found on DVD. I think when a network decides to can a show they should make it downloadable of the NET (they could be lower grade quality). If it turns out that X thousand downloads are observed, either package the show for DVD and/or bring the show back in repeats and if it does well, pick it back up.

It strikes me that those of us who aren't into Reality shows have few show to enjoy today. I cant wait for a TV channel that picks up all these well written shows and airs only that kinda programming...

Don't get me wrong I like successful sitcoms too(Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, Cheers, etc.) So NBC and FOX, please give your smart sitcoms a second chance...

You're so right, Hidden Hills was funny and enjoyable, and that doesn't even include the extra points for the BABE-factor in it (Paula Marshal) yummy.

Big brother and crappy shows like that keep going for years and years........ just goes to show that 70% of the population are sheep! It's SO sad that most people want a show with canned laughter to let them know to laugh, so they don't feel stupid. Coupling was canceled too? Sure, if it isn't down to earth, easy digestible "8 rules to ruin TV" and shows like that, people have to spend too much energy watching. Sad

Hidden Hills in my opinion is equal if not superior to popular comedy series like Friends, Home Improvements, Everybody loves Raymond, and Malcolm in the middle. Writing from New Zealand, the now realized reruns of Hidden Hills air at 10:30pm weekdays, but the last episode ended today. I'm gasped to have learned that this program only lasted a season. It's the most intelligent sitcom ever seen, and funnier than anything running at present. I guess I like Hidden Hills because it's both intelligent, honest, and funny. It ranks with the Sopranos in intelligence and honesty. Hidden Hills gives me insight to a perfect marriage and/or couple, and hints on possible solutions to dilemmas that are inevitable in marriage and/or between couples, and at the same time I enjoy myself. I learn a lot from the character Doug, and love watching for attributes from the beautifully played Janine. I'm in love with Hidden Hills, and it is a great shame it's been canceled. About to turn 21 come August, and single, this program isn't only for married couples! I like the show as it is, but a little tweaks here or there and this could possibly conform to the wider audience, and hence become more 'popular'. Next on my list is to get the DVDs for this rare TV series.
